Xiyu shook in her sleep. In her dream, she saw faces, many of which she could not recognise. However, one person existed which instilled fear in her.

She dreamed of being the baby in the crib from memory and hearing the melodious voice again. This time, she saw the face of the owner of the voice. Her hair curled around her shoulder like vines, and her cheeks were flushed a sweet pink. She appeared delighted as she spoke to the man beside her.
